I was tagged by the lovely @gwens-fiction, thanks hon!Ā šĀ
1. Do you know your charactersā MBTI personalities?Ā
Not generally, but when I get bored sometimes Iāll take the quiz for one of my characters--the only one I remember at the moment is Leónās, and heās an ISFJ-TĀ š
2. Favorite writing trope?
Oh, I love just about every trope related to nuance and gray morality--evil virtues might be my all time fave!
3. Favorite genre?
Oh, probably fantasy! I mostly grew up with fantasy and it has a very special place in my heartĀ š Even my scifi stories are truly science fantasy lol
4. What would your characters be for Halloween?
León-- would dress up as a giant tax bill lol
Vicente-- honestly, either a playboy bunny or one of those black and white striped criminal outfits
5. Do you have a favorite of your OCs?
N-no, Iām a good mother who loves all her children equally (read: León)
6. Is your wip setting varied or one spot?
Varied! Itās set both along the USās west coast (Portland, OR is the main spot) and throughout a few locations in the Philippines.
7. What genre is your wip?
My current main WIP, The People vs San Andres, is dark contemporary fiction--it also leans heavily into being a legal thriller!Ā
8. What time of day do you do most of your writing?
Anytime I can fit it in tbh, but mostly in the evening/at night/abhorrently early in the morning! I find Iām most productive if I do chores/irl stuff/school stuff in the morning and early afternoon, and then when Iām done for the day I allow myself to write... I use my writing breaks (Iām bad about taking these, itās kind of whatever) to study/get ahead on stuff for the next day
9. Favorite medium to write? (Computer, paper, etc)
On my computer, for sure! I like writing on paper to help get over blocks/plot issues, but otherwise my head goes too fast to keep up with--I have a fairly fast typing speed and itās still hard to keep up, haha!
10. Your OC(s)ās favorite color?
Leónās is a forest green! He likes earthy colors, for the most part.Ā
11. How do you over come writerās block?
Iām the worst about this, but I find switching projects helpful! I also like to switch to writing by hand, or rewriting the most recent scene to find out where my block is coming from.Ā

Here we go.
1) OTP? (And maybe where it appears - Iām always looking for new ships ā¦)
I know OTP is really supposed to be ONE ship, but I canāt do that to my babies, so Iām just gonna write a lot of them.

Johnlock-Sherlock
Janto-Torchwood
Elisabeth+Darcy-Pride and Prejudice
Klain, Brittana-Glee
Neville+Luna-Harry Potter
Scorbus-Cursed Child
Lamen-Captive Prince
Supercorp-Supergirl
Okay I think thatās enough for now. Some of these I ship A BIT more than the others, but I canāt bring myself to exclude anyone.
2) Most frequently worn shirt/ clothing item?
Probably my black jeans, because I donāt own many pairs. Tho my FAVOURITE clothing item is 100% my leather-ish jacket.

I was tagged by the lovely @reininginthefirewriting, thanks hon!Ā š
Tagging (feel free to ignore) @halrose @tentelltales @relevy @writerightmegpie to answer the same questions!
1. How long have you been writing? I started writing when I was 7, so Iāve been on and off for 13 years!Ā
2. What are the major themes of your current WIP(s)? Freedom/individuality, obsession, subjective morality, death, love... understanding/what it means to be understood.Ā Ā
3. What do you want people to take away from your story once theyāve read it? I donāt really... concern myself with take-aways? If my readers finish my books and spend any amount of time chewing on the complexity of the subjects and themes I write about... thatās all I can ask.Ā
4. Would you be excited if people wrote fanfiction about your WIPs? YES. Yes, yes, yes!!! Iāve written a lot of fanfiction in the past and for someone to put in enough dedication to write fanfiction for something I created... Thatās like, a fever dream, I canāt even comprehend it. The only problem is Iād want to read it and I couldnāt asdfghjkl
Ā 5. Whatās your go-to writing beverage?Ā Coffee with lots of cream, and/or a can of sparkling water!Ā
6. Who is your favorite OC? i-i uh, love them equally like any good parent I love, love, love León. I see so much of myself in him--heās definitely developed on his own and is far from a self-insert, but heās kind of cycled around to share a lot of things with me that I didnāt intend. Heās also got a lot of things in his own head that heās tried to keep on lockdown, but thereās a lot of self-destructive elements to him, and that puts him on this precipice and itās super fascinating to watch what happens when you give him a little shove.
7. Do you feel mistakes are important learning tools in the writing journey? For sure! Mistakes are important in every journey, and you donāt stop making them just because youāve journeying for a while, either (although theoretically the mistakes you make shouldnāt be the same ones over again lol)! I make mistakes all the time, but theyāre different mistakes (or at least fewer) than the ones I made when I was, say, 11.Ā
8. Rank your OCs by their capability in a foot chase (either running from or after something, your choice).Ā
LMAO. Okay uh starting with fastest:
Benjie
Seven
Violeta
León
Ana
Vicente
Sylvia
Eliza
9. Does your WIP have romance? Tell us about it! If not, tell us about an important friendship/relationship/dynamic! Yes! The romance between Vicente and León is central to the story--theyāre able to meet and interact with each other on a lot of levels that most people couldnāt. Theyāre both kind of coy about their crimes and engage in a lot of wordplay, and theyāre both very immoral, and their traumas have a lot of overlap. But their relationship hits on so many levels that it allows them to reveal a lot that they wouldnāt otherwise, and it loops back around to Leónās self-destructiveness.Ā
10. Do you believe in the advice kill your darlings? Mm... like all advice, it has a time and a place, and that place is not universal. I, personally, am not a huge fan of it, but I also generally donāt prefer writing/stories that are too lean and Iām sure thatās related.
11. Do you prefer plotting or worldbuilding? Why? Worldbuilding, for sure! Iām not very good at plotting--I almost never follow any plotting I do in advance, so it usually just stresses me out and Iām at the point where I almost skip over the plotting stage entirely--but worldbuilding is so, so much fun. I love creating new places and cultures and systems, and doing research to incorporate realistic aspects, and I have so much fun with slipping small pieces of that work into my stories.Ā

I was tagged by the lovely @ally-thorne, thanks hon!Ā š
Tagging (feel free to ignore) @lady-redshield-writes @relevy @kly-writes to answer the same questions! And, of course, if anyone else wants to join in then please do!Ā
1.Ā Who was your first OC? Tell us something about them!Ā Laurence wasnāt my first ever OC but he was the first that wasnāt a literal self-insert. Like most of my characters he had an unchecked attitude problem (snark/sarcasm/emotional temperature of a walk-in freezer), and he was tall and gaunt and bc Iām self-indulgent he had cotton-candy blue hair, idk. Oh! And he was one of 11 people in the world who could traverse between Heaven/Hell/the mortal plane which meant he was 1) cursed to suffer rebirth for eternity; and 2) was the subject of an interdimensional war between Heaven and Hell.Ā
That WIP actually had some really cool worldbuilding Iām ngl
2. Who was your favorite OC youāve ever made? Itās hard to say because I genuinely love them all but... probably Jackal? I love everything about him. He and I arenāt actually all that alike, but he resonates with me on a level that most characters donāt. I can think of some poetic reasons but itās probably because weāre both dumb as hell.
3. Are there any passions/interests you find yourself slipping into your writing? guns and murderĀ Strangely enough, no. A lot of my characters have hobbies that are totally different from mine.Ā
4. Whatās your preferred place to write? My sofa! Especially because I recently reorganized part of my living room so now Iāve got space to lay out a yoga mat and daydream stretch whenever I get lost midway through a scene.Ā
5. What genre do you write most and why? SF/F! My parents both read a lot of epic fantasy so itās what I grew up with, and I love worldbuilding and escapism. But I also write a lot of romance into my projects because Iām hopeless.
6. Do you listen to music while writing? If so, what kind of music? Oh, yes!! Iāll listen to anything as long as itās dangerously loud tbh, but mostly I listen to rock and post-grunge.
7. Do you have a favorite WIP? If so, which one? Probably Eosophobia, even though Iām not posting much about it/Iāve taken it out of drafting and back to plotting! I love every single character in EOS and as much fun as I have with my other projects, EOS hits every single button of my ideal story: grimdark; violent; slow-burn romance; found family; colorful characters.
8. Is there anyone who inspires you to keep writing? Myself tbhĀ ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
9. If your WIP was made into a movie, who would you want to play your main character(s)? I honestly have no clue other than I really, really need Mads Mikkelsen to play Oswald. I need it to happen. He-- I--Ā /swoons
10. Do you like to write from an outline? Not really? I canāt usually bring myself to finish an outline in the first place. Everything Iāve ever done has been pantsed with only a vague mental outline to guide me.Ā
11. Do you prefer writing during the day or night? Iām more of a night person, so I guess at night, but Iāll take my writing time whenever I can!Ā
